When dealing with tooth loss, our Brookfield, WI, dentists, Drs. Terence and Mary Eileen Geary, understand the importance of getting the next best thing to real teeth, which is why we are happy to offer dental implants to adults who are looking to treat tooth loss. Possessing a natural feel, look, and functionality, dental implants can make your smile good as new. Read on to learn more about what this treatment can do for you!

Restored Chewing

One issue that many people deal with once they lose a tooth is being unable to chew food properly. With an incomplete smile, certain foods become more challenging to consume than others, thus limiting your dietary options. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that stays firmly in place so that you can eat with confidence.

A Long-Lasting Restoration

When it comes to getting a tooth replacement, we know how important it is for our patients to get an artificial tooth that will last as long as possible. While dentures and bridges are made from durable material, even they will need to be replaced or readjusted every few years; however, implants can last several decades with the proper care.

Prevent Bone Loss

This is probably one of the biggest benefits of getting dental implants, as no other tooth replacement can actually preserve the jawbone like implants can. As you might already know, bone loss occurs as a result of untreated tooth loss, causing structural changes within the face due to the muscles not receiving the proper support they need. This results in sunken cheeks, sagging wrinkled skin, and other problems. Fortunately, by placing a dental implant, this metal post can stimulate the jawbone to produce new bone cells in the same way that real tooth roots can.

Preserve Natural Teeth

Other tooth replacement options require support from neighboring teeth, which over time can also wear teeth down and lead to damage such as cracks or breaks. Dental implants, on the other hand, do not require the support of natural teeth. An implant is supported by the jawbone rather than attaching to teeth, which puts less pressure on the rest of your smile.
